Please Mr. Pilot

[Verse 1]
Hanging out at the airplane hangar
I can’t face the funeral hangover
I don’t know why I even try
I should know I can never cry
I can’t go to the cemetery
And break bread over your body
Why should I bare my soul to strangers
When I never bared my soul to you?

[Chorus]
Please Mr. Pilot
You gotta start up the airplane
I’ve got to get away from here
Please Mr. Pilot
You gotta put me back in the sky
Where I’ll be closer to you

[Verse 2]
Feeling like a coward
I don’t wanna see flowers growing on you
But they’ll send a car to meet me
As soon as they know I’m here
I don’t know the reason why
I already said goodbye
I shouldn’t have to do it in public
Or am I just rationalizing?

[Chorus]
Please Mr. Pilot
You gotta start up the airplane
I’ve got to get away from here
Please Mr. Pilot
You gotta put me back in the sky
Where I’ll be closer to you

Please Mr. Pilot
You gotta start up the airplane
I’ve got to get away from here
Please Mr. Pilot
You gotta put me back in the sky
I’ve got to get away from here

[Outro]
(I’m gonna get so high
Up in the sky
I’m gonna get so high
Gonna forget you died
I’m gonna get so high
Up in the sky
I’m gonna get so high
Gonna forget you died)
